Freedom
Nothing in this world can provide you lasting happiness and peace except yourself. But as long as you cling onto something in the hopes that it will provide you with happiness, you are a prisoner to the outside world.
Today, it finally clicked for me. For so long, I have been looking to a girlfriend to bring me happiness and joy. But when I finally got a girlfriend, I was still no much happier than before (if anything, it has brought me more depressing moments). Only today, when I reflect back, do I realize that the thing I was was searching for to bring me joy has instead brought me pain. THAT is when I asked myself: why am I still clinging to something that is bringing me pain? It's as silly as holding on to a burning piece of charcoal. Let go!
In truth, if I hadn't been so attached to my girlfriend, I would never have experienced those depressing moments. EVERY SINGLE REASON why I was sad can be traced back to my clinginess.
So in the end, I guess there WAS a silver lining in the cloud- it was my pain that opened my heart to the realization that to cling is to die.
Let go, and flow...

That's the trickiness of relationships. To maintain a LTR you have to sacrifice some of your freedom and time that you had when you were single. Relationships take time, trust, and communication to make them work well. If you have any questions drop me a line. Best of luck.
So did you brake up with your girlfriend, or did you change your attitude without leaving her? Just curious ;)
Nope, I'm still with her. Like I said, every single wound was created by myself, so even if I break up with her and find another girl, I'll still get hurt.
Thx for asking though!
